cheap flights?

Has anyone here had experience with Groupon cheap flights? Our club contemplated getting involved, but didn't, because we couldn't afford to become a charity!

The ones I've seen for flights are basically just the normal price you would get walking in the door, but saying it's 50% off. One way I've seen them get round this is saying it would include a years membership which would normally be £100 or so, but if it's just a trial lesson you're unlikely to see the punter again so I guess there's no loss in offering effectively free membership.

A lot of schools offer groupon vouchers for their sim, but I guess the cost of running these is lower and a lot of sims aren't used to their full potential.

The trouble is it only creates loyalty to Groupon, unless they're really impressed you're unlikely to get repeat business.
